Santa Ana Stadium, also known as Eddie West Field or the Santa Ana Bowl, is a city-owned and operated 9,000 seat American football and soccer stadium located in downtown Santa Ana. The field was named after Eddie West, a writer for the Orange County Register and tireless supporter of the Santa Ana College Dons and all Orange County sports.
The stadium is serviced by the Orange County Transit Authority Bus Routes 51, 145 and 462, is 1.4 miles west of the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC), and 9 miles north of John Wayne Airport (IATA: SNA). Travelers using regional rail may transfer from Metrolink or Amtrak at SARTC to OCTA Route 462 to Santa Ana Blvd and Flower Street. Santa Ana Stadium is scheduled to be serviced by streetcar, through the Santa Ana-Garden Grove Fixed Guideway and streetcar project, or OC Streetcar, which will travel from the east terminus at SARTC and stop at Santa Ana Blvd and Flower Street. The streetcar is scheduled to open in 2020.
